Moon phase a Dark Witch Should Know

“Every Moon Phase and What a Dark Witch Should Actually Do With It (No Glitter, No Love & Light Lies)”

Forget the moon mist nonsense. This isn’t your sister-in-law’s moon circle with tea and affirmations. This is for witches who cast in grave dirt and laugh during storms.

So here’s the real breakdown—moon phase by phase, no fluff, no filter:

DARK OF THE MOON

Mood: Total void. Nothingness. The grave before the birth.

What it’s really for:

Necromancy

Bloodline work

Veil-ripping shadow rituals

Banishing curses

Absolute destruction spells

This is when the moon disappears—and so should your mercy. This is silence as power. This is where you curse a name so hard it echoes through ancestral bone.

Warning: This is NOT for the ungrounded or trendy witches looking for “closure.” This is where the real witches walk alone.

NEW MOON

Mood: Black silk before the storm. Still... but coiled.

What it’s really for:

Deep shadow work

Hex planting

Binding addictions, people, memories

Starting long-game spells meant to rot something over time

Think of this as the whispered deal in the dark before the dagger's drawn.

WAXING CRESCENT

Mood: The twitch before the grin.

What it’s really for:

Building momentum

Setting intentions (with a snarl)

Carving names into wax

Feeding the spell you buried at New Moon

FIRST QUARTER

Mood: The blade is halfway unsheathed.

What it’s really for:

Amplifying force

Reigniting any stalled spells

Power casting, especially for domination, money, or revenge

This is “shove it through” energy. Don’t whisper—command.

WAXING GIBBOUS

Mood: Pressure. Swelling. Nearly bursting.

What it’s really for:

Intensifying what’s already working

Charging dolls, bottles, or cursed charms

Reworking old spells that need darker teeth

FULL MOON

Mood: Electric. Loud. Dangerous.

What it’s really for:

Unleashing hexes

Conjuring spirits

Performing sex majick

High necromancy and mirror majick

It’s all at your fingertips—so be damn sure you’re in control.

WANING GIBBOUS

Mood: Aftershock. Reflection with claws.

What it’s really for:

Divination to assess spell results

Spirit gratitude rituals (for those who served well)

Spell dissection: what worked, what didn’t, who bled

LAST QUARTER

Mood: Ice cold logic. Sharp endings.

What it’s really for:

Severing

Cutting cords the violent way

Curse closures and final word castings

This is where we finish the story—with fire, salt, or silence.

WANING CRESCENT

Mood: Withdrawal. Quiet prep. Night before the hunt.

What it’s really for:

Cleansing YOUR way (black salt, vinegar, not rose petals)

Retaliation updates

Resting in shadow and gathering the next storm

Final Thought:

Every moon is a mask. You just have to know which one to wear when you cast.

And while they manifest under the light, we transform under the dark.

We don’t bathe in moonlight. We drink the dark of it.
